This week on Let’s Eat In Cathy speaks to Todd Alström of Beer Advocate and Shane Welsh of Sixpoint Brewery. Learn how Beer Advocate has become the premiere source of beer reviews and a catalyst for festivals in Boston–from their humble beginnings during the nascent stages of the Interwebs (1996!) to their new print monthly magazine. Tune in for talk about “extreme” beer, traditional beer, and everything in between. This episode was sponsored by Cabot Cheese of Vermont, Dairy Farm Family owned since 1919

Todd Alström, Beer Advocate, Shane Welsch, Sixpoint Brewery, the pioneering days of Beer Advocate in 1996, what was the original intention of Beer Advocate?, in 96 Todd and his brother Jason were homebrewing and taking notes on their homebrews, then they began taking notes on other brewers and posting the reviews on a website, Beer Advocate evolved organically, spreading the good word about good beer, promoting the industry as a whole, Beer Advocate is now a magazine, Beer Advocate is the only monthly beer mag in the US, magazines are dropping like leaves, beer festivals, Annual Extreme Beerfest, extreme beer is about brewing beer that pushes boundaries, creative beer, exotic ingredients, bringing back old methods of brewing, is the festival itself actually extreme?, it can be hard to find a lot of great beers on the market, outrageous hot pepper beers, It Tastes Like Burning, 120 or 150 IBU beers, a potential waste of hops, PBRs, American’s palates are going bigger and bolder, Americans love sweet and salty things but not bitter things, the hop is one of the most bitter compounds on Earth, offsetting malt syrup with bitterness, a single hop cone is intensely bitter, the terroir of American hops,

can you live off beer?, beer IS food, Candice runs the festivals but Beer Advocate is still a 2 person company, any plans to bring the festivals out of Boston?, maybe a BK festival!, Todd’s favorite date beer, Deus from Belgium is brewed exactly like Champagne so it would be a good date beer, nature’s Viagra, potential raw fish ahhh!, Todd makes a good beef Stroganoff, the food usually at beer festivals, muscles cooked in Belgian beer, Sunset Grill, cooking with beer is really big right now, beer and food is a natural combination, German smoked beer, The Homebrew Chef, Belgian beer festivals and shouting, pockets of shouting people who flail their hands and shout, Great American Beer Festival, drop plastic cup on the ground, Get Real: a celebration of real ale, you can’t excite people with normal beer at a normal festival, Get Real was so successful because it was the first time so much cask conditioned ale was featured at a festival, live yeast, distributors have mixed feelings about beer festivals, brewers will make beer for the fest so distributors get frustrated since they won’t have it in stock, Shane likes the idea of brewing for a one-time deal and not for profit,
